Mi never have much money inna mi pocket
And mi never finish school
But you no need to feel compassionate for mi
Don't teach I, I'm a fool
Cause, I've been writing my own story
And I've been growing my own tree
Never believe inna no institution
To set my mind free

Cause, what goes left, must come right
Mi still a win the fight
Cause, what goes up, must come down
Here comes my song

Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman

So dem never like my spirituality
And dem never like my face
So dem try with any means necessary
Just to get mi outta di race
Cause, mi never like their christ
And mi never accept their cross
I never feel their meditation
My choice was not a last
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman

Forward, natty dreadlocks
Forward, Congo rastaman
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Forward, Congo rastaman

Mi never have much money inna mi pocket
And mi never finish school
But you no need to feel compassionate for mi
Don't teach I, I'm a fool

Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, natty dreadlocks
Global war, so mi tell I am
Forward, Congo rastaman
